BREW METHOD & CUPPING WORKSHOP

Next Workshop - Thursday, March 24th at 7pm

February’s event saw a table full of coffees from the 4 corners….several Indonesian offerings (including a Kopi Luwak), some great coffees from Honduras, Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya and even a Robusta coffee from Uganda….all in all 15 coffees on the table.

We mixed it up with the participants too, with some coffees we expected to be under whelming…it is good to taste a defective, past crop or commodity grade coffee once in a while…all the cuppers found tasting these coffees very insightful ….and as a roasting team it exposes our pallets to flavours we may not have come across and continues to build up a sensory memory.

Throughout 2011 we will be hosting an event every month. Each event will offer up a different brew method or 2, as well as cupping coffees from many different origins…their will always be something unique in the mix.

The roasting team would love to see any keen cuppers come along, taste some extraordinary brews and talk all things coffee.

WELBOURN Primary School get earthquake supplies down to CHRISTCHURCH

PM John Key said last week "its not Christchurch's test, it NZs' test" ....and amongst the many great stories we are hearing of NZers' getting stuck in to help our fellow NZers down in Christchurch is the children of Welbourn Primary School here in NP. They saw the need and quickly mobilised to collect food and water (and even write a few notes of support) and get a pallet load of much needed supplies down to a community distrbution centre.(along with dressing in red and black too) On ya! Welbourn School!
